How to teach it

Build algebra from arithmetic: use a variable to stand for an unknown, write the situation as an expression or equation, then keep both sides balanced when solving and check by substituting the answer back in.

Worked example

9x = 36
Answer: x = 4
Why: Divide both sides by 9: x = 36 รท 9 = 4

Common mistake

Treating the equals sign as 'work it out' rather than 'both sides are equal', dropping negative signs, and not applying an operation to every term.
